      It's a funny name. :)

      The guy who invented it wanted his Son to off his device and therefore it is called SONOFF.

      Sounds like SONOS to me.

    If you're willing to cut some cords, the Sonoff basic is a lot cheaper and can be had for about $6 each. But it requires cutting a cord on an extension cable or power board and connecting the positive and negative wires. I think the Sonoff basic also doesn't have power monitoring but this one does.

      Doesn't sound hard and might actually be safer than one of these monstrous blocks which undoubtedly does not stay connected easily. Especially with a Chinese plug which has thinner pins than Australian ones. Problem is of course legality & insurance.

    • kongkurr on 19/12/2017 - 17:54

      "connecting the positive and negative wires". You clearly don't know what you're doing, so probably shouldn't be giving advice to others. The earth doesn't do anything, right?

      • Magus on 19/12/2017 - 18:15

        The basic does not have an earth. Just active and neutral. There are also alternate firmwares available

        • kongkurr on 19/12/2017 - 18:29
          +1

          That's not to say that all electrical equipment is without an earth. The bargain features an earth pin; this suggestion is not comparative, and downright dangerous.

          In addition, users should be aware that any fault caused by either of the two devices likely won't be covered by insurance in Australia, as I see no approval for use here.
          Both 2000 and 2200W are listed in the description, neither meaning the device is capable of carrying a full 10A load in Aus as claimed.

        • ausmechkeyboards on 19/12/2017 - 18:34

          @kongkurr:

          "Downright dangerous" haha what year is this? Go check how many of your lightbulbs are grounded so you can have a panic attack.

          Also, the HRS3FN is most definitely able to carry 10A http://en.hke.cn/bg_attach/2017/12/413.pdf

        • 2be8 on 19/12/2017 - 19:40

          @ausmechkeyboards:

          The comment that @kongkurr was responding to was suggesting the Sonoff Basic as an alternative to the S20. The Sonoff Basic doesn't have an earth, and indeed the Sonoff Basic is probably a pretty good choice for lights. However, if you're wiring a Sonoff Basic into an extension lead and not feeding the earth past so it is still correctly connected, then you probably shouldn't be doing your own wiring.

      • ausmechkeyboards on 19/12/2017 - 18:30

        No, it doesn't.

        The Sonoff basic doesn't even give you an opportunity to ground it, just live and neutral. You have to bypass around the entire device if you want to connect earth.

        It's not 1931. You make it sound like whatever it's going to be connected to won't have a fuse or circuit breaker and that your own house's circuitry is just a car battery with some jumper cables.

        This thing won't catch on fire, relax.

        • Magus on 19/12/2017 - 19:41

          If it is put in an extension cable, the earch wire can be run through the middle of the device, uncut. Likely the device on the end is double insulated anyway.

    • DiSTURBED-oNE on 20/12/2017 - 13:23

      the fact you used the words "positive" and "negative" wires concerns me.

      • ausmechkeyboards on 20/12/2017 - 13:33

        It's actually great for walking people into electronics who think they'll kill themselves by cutting a wire. They always remember "positive" (live) pushes current and "negative" (neutral) draws it out, completing the circuit.

        Even using the word "neutral" becomes confusing when you consider the fact that neutral is actually ground within the electrical grid, so there's no point in getting caught up with the nomenclature.

  • econzune on 19/12/2017 - 16:09

    Do you know, Google Home support or just Alexa?

    • ausmechkeyboards on 19/12/2017 - 16:10
      +1

      Both. IIRC the S20 can also be flashed to support MQTT.

      EDIT: also there is IFTTT integration. I have Sonoff stuff hooked up and running with Google Home and Home Assistant.

      • kirt on 19/12/2017 - 16:15

        So no bridges or Home Assistant etc needed?

        • ausmechkeyboards on 19/12/2017 - 16:18
          +4

          Not for Google Home, no. It talks directly to the Sonoff plug via the eWeLink integration.

          I can't talk about Alexa though, although I imagine it's the same.

        • kirt on 19/12/2017 - 16:19

          @ausmechkeyboards:

          Sweet - thanks ;)

        • EggMan28 on 19/12/2017 - 16:20

          works fine with Alexa. I have both and consider Echo integration better. When I add new Sonoff devices, I can just discover them in the Alexa app but with Google Home app, I need to unlink my account and re-link it to see new devices. Hope that process changes later.

          @EggMan28:

          Not anymore. You just say "Hey Google, sync my devices" and it refreshes everything.

        • Make it so on 19/12/2017 - 16:28

          @ausmechkeyboards: Awesome, thanks. I have had to unlink/relink my Xiaomi account in the past when I added something. Looks like this may solve that.

    • Ryanek on 19/12/2017 - 16:12

      Yes according to this article from August 2017. eWeLink is their ecosystem so you can check that for compatibility.

    • ExtraSalt on 20/12/2017 - 08:54

      i use one of these with my google home. works quite well. SONOFF is on the Google Home list

      • Native Google Home, Alexa and IFTTT integration
      • Can be flashed to support MQTT
      • Does not require Mi Home app or anything like it
      • tgame on 19/12/2017 - 16:17

        Emm, i'm in! thanks for the info.

      • Make it so on 19/12/2017 - 16:29
        +1

        Not sure what you'd call "native google home", but this still requires the eWeLink app, in the same manner that Xiaomi has its own app. Am I missing something?

        • ausmechkeyboards on 19/12/2017 - 16:35
          +1

          No, that's what I mean.

          Xiaomi doesn't have Google Home integration, you're probably thinking of Yeelight which is a separate company that Xiaomi just added under their umbrella of smart devices.

          You only need the eWeLink app to register the device to your account and provide WiFi details so that the device can connect to your router. From that point on, eWeLink's cloud servers integrate with Google Home and everything happens in the background.

          For non-native integration, I mean things using bridges like IFTTT and similar.

      • v00d00 AU on 19/12/2017 - 16:59

        For what its worth, the Xiaomi alternative is much smaller/compact.

        And for anyone else interested, keep in mind the chinese sockets are upsidedown - and may cause issues depending on where you would like to install/make use of the adapter.

      • Enjj0y on 19/12/2017 - 17:21

  • phynicle on 19/12/2017 - 16:43

    i can't for the life of me get these things to work with my google home device.
    It comes up as a device eg "light,"fan" etc on google home but when i tell google home to turn on lights in the living room (room i assigned the switch to) or turn off fan, i get the response "the device is not set up"

    • salem on 19/12/2017 - 18:20

      Did you configure it in the ewelink app?

      • phynicle on 19/12/2017 - 19:20

        yup no issues with setting up ewelinmk app or getting google home to detect.
        my issue is voice command doesn't seem to be able to control the switches

    • ExtraSalt on 20/12/2017 - 08:55

      you havent linked the SONOFF account via Google Home.

      • phynicle on 20/12/2017 - 14:46

        Im pretty sure I have, I had to do the whole login to ewe link from the Google home app and waiting for connecting of devices, after a quick moment it appears on my google home list along with my other devices like chromecast and TV etc.

        So this is boggling my mind, watched the videos followed the instructions, everything seemingly ok

        • ExtraSalt on 20/12/2017 - 15:19

          Hmm ye sounds like you are doing it all right. I had the same issues adding my yeelight account… It'd ask me to enter my password and then seemingly take an extended time loading a screen, and then suddenly skipping and going back to Google home without linking the account… Is that what you are getting as well? It just suddenly worked the day after for me
